[FIXED] [8.01] Overwriting Hidden & System files

[sas2000]

  
Hi, i have two directories C:\TEST & D:\TEST and both directories have exactly the same files :

LAST.TXT  45.622 14/11/08 07:49  -a--
LIST.TXT   25.622 14/11/08 07:39  -a--
2006.SYS  63.958 11/02/08 09:43  -ahs
RAIN.SYS  10.040 14/11/08 07:29  ra-s

I do not understand why with this configuration in wincmd.ini      [8.01 - Xp 32bits]

[Confirmation]
deleteDirs=0
OverwriteFiles=1
OverwriteReadonly=0
OverwriteHidSys=0
MouseActions=0

If i press F5 to copy C:\TEST overwriting D:\TEST (and after pressing  Overwrite All  in the first confirmation window) i receive more warning windows like this one

The file D:\TEST\RAIN.SYS has either the attribute HIDDEN or SYSTEM!
Do you want to overwrite it anyway?

Maybe i'm wrong but  OverwriteHidSys=0  should not avoid this message window ?. Thank you very much.

OverwriteHidSys=0 should not avoid this message window ?

OverwriteHidSys=0 will NOT overwrite but ask
OverwriteHidSys=1 will overwrite without asking

Hi, thanks for answering. I have changed wincmd.ini

[Confirmation]
deleteDirs=0
OverwriteFiles=1
OverwriteReadonly=0
OverwriteHidSys=1
MouseActions=0

But there is no difference at all.

BTW from TC Help file

OverwriteHidSys=1  Ask before overwriting/deleting hidden/system files

Thanks again.

OverwriteHidSys=1 Ask before overwriting/deleting hidden/system files

You are right, the German help has a quite misleading text.

It looks like the OverwriteReadonly and OverwriteHidSys are only working with OverwriteFiles=0 set.

Code: Select all

OverwriteFiles=1

=> Show general "Overwriting files" dialog

Code: Select all

OverwriteFiles=0
OverwriteReadonly=1
OverwriteHidSys=1

=> Don't show general "Overwriting files" dialog, but still ask at overwriting ReadOnly or Hidden/System files

This makes you think, that [Show general "Overwriting files" dialog, but don't ask me additional at overwriting ReadOnly or Hidden/System files] is like:

Code: Select all

OverwriteFiles=1
OverwriteReadonly=0
OverwriteHidSys=0

You are right, this will not work as expected, it will still ask at overwriting ReadOnly or Hidden/System files while it should not.

This will not work as expected, it will still ask at overwriting ReadOnly or Hidden/System files while it should not.

Another thing, maybe i'm wrong but in my opinion

OverwriteReadonly=0
OverwriteHidSys=0

It should mark Overwrite/Delete read only/hidden/system checkbox but it doesn't

TC 8.50b4 works as expected, marking Overwrite/Delete read only/hidden/system checkbox, thank you very much .
